Here's another good shot that Linda took at the abandoned Seaholm power plant near the shores of Town Lake in the heart of downtown Austin. These old smokestacks now stand as silent testimony to all the years they served our city.
In the next few years, construction crews will be transforming this area into a complex of retail shops and other businesses, a luxury hotel, and condos. A train stop for the rail system that will connect San Antonio and Austin is also planned for the west side of the old power plant. Just to the east, the new City Library is envisioned. (And Linda and I will be living about four blocks away, connected to this complex by footpaths. Am I excited? You bet!)
I love what's happening to our city.
Amazingly you can almost see a face in those clouds. Sounds like much progress in going on in your city.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your kind and encouraging remarks on Menton DP. Really appreciate them and that you enjoy it.
I see the cranes and I wonder how the skyline will look in the next few months. I have a secret about the site of the seaholm plant.
ReplyDeleteHow are ya'll doing in Austin with the tremendous rain Texas has been getting lately?
